Feature Shows Extravaganza

PD Film and Television has no big hits this year. Apart from regular sequels, there are no plans for S-level or above works.

Does this make people suspicious?

Did Mr. Meng shift his focus to the animation company? From now on, the King of Painting will be the most favored prince, while the King of Shadows will sadly retreat to the second line?

Of course, this suspicion is unnecessary.

Although the animation company has developed very well in recent years, it has indeed made a lot of money for PD Group and consolidated its reputation. But PD made its fortune in live-action dramas, and Meng Lang will not give up this market no matter what.

He just didn't know what to do.

With the Ultraman, Kamen Rider and Super Sentai series being launched one after another, Meng Lang's choice space has become smaller and smaller.

There are not many suitable works left!

Or start with Spider-Man and create a PD superhero universe. Either find a new approach and create a new series similar to Toei Mysterious Comedy, or spend a lot of money and create a Yanglang.

There is another option!

Drawing on the experience of successful works, the heroes from Chinese legends and myths are presented in the form of special photo dramas, evolving into a brand new Chinese Mythology series.

To be honest, Meng Lang was quite excited.

Although he has been taking pictures of works that others have taken, although he has gained a lot, Meng Lang always feels empty in his heart. If we can create the Chinese Mythology series, it will be quite satisfactory.

But now is not the time!

Now Meng Lang, firstly, did not have time to polish the script planning, secondly, he did not study relevant materials carefully, and thirdly, he did not accumulate enough experience. If you do it rashly, you are likely to mess up.

So he decided to take it easy first.

Wait until the time is right before you consider this aspect. As for now, we should still follow Toei's old path and create a PD Mysterious Comedy series that the audience loves to see.

Someone may ask!

Why, why not Yalang?

The reason has been stated!

Taomi's due date is approaching, and Meng Lang probably won't have much time in the first half of this year. Even Dana was entrusted to Li Wanbo, how could he have time to think about Yalang?

As for the Unbelievable Comedy series, because it is a series of multiple works connected together, it is somewhat similar to the Metal Heroes series, so other people can also make it.

The original Toei Mysterious Comedy series produced a total of 14 TV works in the 12 years from 1981 to 1993, with more than ten producers.

Meng Lang learned from this model.

He decided to bring in all directors under PD, whether working (Yan Tao) or retired (Shi Sen), and each one of them would make one or two films, never more than a trilogy.

Everybody does it together!

This is a grand plan!

Don’t worry about not being able to finish it, there are at least seven or eight PD directors, and one person can shoot two films, so it can be completed easily. Besides, it’s not like this was shot “within one year.”

Just like the 18 Saiwen OVs that Meng Lang promised fans, we will do a little bit of them a year and finish them all in about ten years.

The first Robot 8 and the second Robot Madoka are tentatively directed by Yan Tao and produced by Ma Teng. They are scheduled to be filmed and broadcast within this year.

Yan Tao is happy to take over this project.

Although he is tinkering with his own building block special shoot, he has no clue about it, and he doesn't know when he will be able to tinker with a complete plan. It just so happened that my vacation was over and I was busy filming a drama.

Speaking of these two works, they are actually related to Shoutaro Ishimori.

For Ishimori, the first impression of many domestic viewers is probably the father of Kamen Rider. I think he has no other masterpiece besides Kamen Rider.

In fact, they are very powerful!

90% of Toei's early live-action special drama projects were marked with the text Original work: Shotaro Ishimori. Including Super Sentai and Metal Heroes that many people are familiar with, the shadow of Ishimori's works can be seen.

we can even say!

Ishimori alone is responsible for half of Toei's Showa live action dramas.

The Toei Mysterious Comedy series is also derived from Ishimori's original work. From Come on! Robot 110 to Robot 110, Robot 8 is already the third Ishimori robot work to be adapted.

However, Xiao 8 is different from the previous two games.

Xiao Lubao and No. 110 were shot at an earlier time, so their styles are naturally different from Xiao 8. And the main promoter of the adaptation of Little 8 is Fuji TV Channel 8.

Let’s put it this way!

Toei's incredible comedy series was born not because Toei wanted to make it, but because Fuji TV found Toei and said to them: Brother, how many dramas can we make?

Then it was done!

Because of Kamen Rider and their intertwined shares, Toei and TV Asahi have a relatively close relationship.

Fuji TV came to ask for cooperation. Toei couldn't just leave them alone, just fool them, and it would be like making a good brother.

Hence this series!

It's interesting to say...

When Fuji TV approached Toei, it had no intention of making it into a series. It was just a lucky relationship. If Toei comes up with a new blockbuster drama, Fuji TV should give it more consideration.

As a result, after filming, the audience responded well! Fuji TV thought, how about we also make a series?

Dongying said, yes!

Then more than a dozen works were filmed one after another until the cooperation was terminated in 1993. This series was already very famous in the hearts of Neon audiences.

If you plant flowers intentionally, they will not bloom, but if you plant willows unintentionally, they will create shade!

Sometimes, a great work, or even a great series, is born by accident. Before doing this, neither party thought that the Toei Mysterious Comedy series would last for twelve years.

I originally wanted to get a vote and leave...

All I can say is that things are unpredictable!

The original Toei Mysterious Comedy series was said to have 14 films, but it was actually more than 14 films. Because this series can essentially be shot infinitely.

Therefore, as long as Toei is willing and Fuji TV has no objection, the lifespan of this series will not be shorter than Ultraman and Kamen Rider.

There were two main reasons why it came to an abrupt end after filming 14 films. The first was that the cooperative relationship was terminated and neither party wanted to continue filming. The second is that the subsequent works failed to achieve very good results and were somewhat on the decline...

Anyway, it's quite a pity.

In fact, Meng Lang likes this series very much. The nonsensical variety show label is also his favorite style. It's a pity that the film only lasted twelve years and ended hastily.

It is said...

For its part, Toei has the idea of ​​restarting the series. The specific information was unreliable, and Meng Lang didn't know. Anyway, he traveled through time before Aunt Dong announced the new progress.

Of course, he thinks a restart is unlikely.

Because this series is not only the work of Toei, but also involves the cooperation with Fuji Television. Domestic resources are scarce, and some works can't even be found on the Internet. It is said that Fuji TV is causing trouble.

So, how does Toei reboot?
